Forest to Pharma: Bridging Nature & Biotechnology
In this episode, we dive into the growing trend of people turning to natural medicine, and the complexities that come with it. With the booming supplement industry and a flood of “natural” products on the market, there’s a growing need to understand the true potential—and the real risks—of integrating nature’s pharmacy into our lives.
Join us as we talk with Dr. Cassandra Quave, AKA the “Plant Hunter,” an amputee and antibiotic-resistant infection survivor who travels the world in search of cures hidden in nature. She has turned her personal journey of survival into a mission to discover plants that could become the next big breakthroughs in medicine—just as many of pharma’s biggest blockbusters once did.
From her state-of-the-art ethnobotany lab at Emory University, Dr. Quave shares her vision of bringing natural products safely into the mainstream and her tireless work to bridge the divide between traditional and Western medicine. It’s a journey into the green frontier of medicine you won’t want to miss!
